Description

How do we navigate the bewildering and rapidly-changing rainbows of sexual and gender diversity, and the rainbows of responses to this diversity? In this podcast I guide you through the research and the stories in a spirit of curiosity, compassion, humility, and hospitality. The goal is to provide accessible and digestible information to support your own journeys through this landscape. Your host is Heather Looy (rhymes with boy), a professor of psychology at The King's University, a Christian university in Edmonton, Canada.
